In what might be one of the more shocking trades I've seen in recent memory, the Eagles have agreed to a trade with the Buffalo Bills which will send LeSean McCoy to the Bills for former Oregon linebacker Kiko Alonso. McCoy spent the first six years of his career in Philadelphia, ever since being drafted out of the University of Pittsburgh in 2009. The former Bishop McDevitt star rushed for over 1,300 yards last season and amassed 6,792 career rushing yards for the Eagles.

In return, the Eagles receive linebacker Kiko Alonso. Alonso missed all of the 2014 season due to a torn ACL, but was phenomenal in his rookie season in 2013, picking up 159 tackles and 4 interceptions on the season. Kiko will be ready to go for the start of the season. Alonso played under Chip Kelly during his time at Oregon, and will be reunited with his former coach in Philadelphia.

One of the supposed reasons for the trade is to clear up some cap room. McCoy was slated to make nearly $24 million over the next three seasons, while Alonso will make less than $1 million a year over the next two seasons. The Eagles have more cap room than every team except the Jets, Browns, Raiders and Jaguars.

As of today, Sproles and Polk are the first two running backs on the depth chart. Odds are that they will add somebody else to the lineup, but both of these guys are dependable enough backs. Acquiring Oregon talent seems to be a passion of Chip's. Could Mariota be next?
